LEDE 17.01.0 - Problem/Error in FreeRadius3 packages. Please fix it!

Installing and Using OpenWrt

The problem is that packages freeradius3-mod-eap-peap and freeradius3-mod-eap-ttls can't be installed at the same time. For example, if freeradius3-mod-eap-peap is installed first, then you get an error message for freeradius3-mod-eap-ttls:

  • check_data_file_clashes: Package freeradius3-mod-eap-ttls wants to install file /etc/freeradius3/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel But that file is already provided by package * freeradius3-mod-eap-peap
  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package freeradius3-mod-eap-ttls.

As a result, the daemon doesn't work and the log reports this:

The obvious solution is to install the freeradius3-mod-eap-ttls package with option --force-overwrite but I think it's better to fix the packages!

Thank's for reading!

Perhaps we should file a bug instead:

https://lede-project.org/bugs

Also, the democerts package needs to be updated.

Cheers.

And I thought I was the only one who's using FreeRadius... :yum:
I'll leave the bug report to you and I hope to see it fixed.

Cheers!
